Commodore63··on The Ivermectin Guys’ Whole Thing Has Fallen Apart
Weinstein et al work extra hard to push the narrative that traditional institutions are untrustworthy and discredited. But when stuff like this happens - rather than say "mea culpa", they cry foul and invoke the specter of vast shadowy conspiracies (which they call the "DISC", the Distributed Idea Suppression Complex).

Grifting hypocrites, the lot of them.

Commodore63··on How much Rust in Firefox?
Only 9.9%? That's kind of surprising. You frequently hear the refrain "why don't you rewrite it in Rust, like Firefox did" in response to security snafus, so I assumed that FF had more Rust in it.

Commodore63··on YouTube and Twitter delete Joe Rogan interview with scientist
I've read some accounts from former students of Weinstein and Heying - they sounded like good, dedicated profs (Heying esp.)

I don't think Weinstein's "exile" was done intentionally, but his arc did establish a career path with a huge audience and wealthy patronage.

Commodore63··on YouTube and Twitter delete Joe Rogan interview with scientist
Malone's been bootstrapping this "cancelled scientist" grift in plain sight since his appearance on Weinstein's podcast.

It's a formula you see over and over again. 1) Say enough shit to get your hand slapped 2) Do the IDW podcast tour to whine about the "establishment" and plug your Patreon and/or supplements. 3) Get bankrolled by Thiel.

Commodore63··on Google no longer producing high quality search results in significant categories
Google seems to value recency over quality - a huge shame, given that the quality content has moved off the open web into walled gardens. If you elevate recently, you get churnalism, blogspam, and vacuous GPT3 bot content.

Commodore63··on YouTube deletes rapper's 'Let's Go Brandon' song claiming medical misinformation
At 0:13 on your video, the crowd is clearly saying "fuck Joe Biden". So this video is explicitly political, given that its name is a dogwhistle for "fuck Joe Biden".
